Flood meetings set

A number of meetings are being held this summer to talk about and receive public input regarding a proposed diversion project for the Fargo-Moorhead area.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will hold a meeting in the Hendrum, Minn., civic center to discuss the potential impact of a diversion on downstream communities.

On Monday, the corps will hold an event at Fargo’s Centennial Hall for property owners whose land may be impacted or acquired to make room for a diversion project.

A similar meeting will be held Tuesday at the Hjemkomst Center in Moorhead.

All of the meetings will be from 6-9 p.m., with a presentation starting at 7 p.m., according to information on the city of Fargo’s website.

Also, North Dakota’s congressional delegation has scheduled a pair of meetings in Washington for June 28 to allow officials from the Fargo-Moorhead area to make the case for a flood protection project to key federal officials.
